I do not see what sudo can do here, and I certainly will not patch
Debian's sudo in that regard. Would you be willing to file an Upstream
bug?
Certainly, you mentioned "I don't think so" about this bug being against sudo
instead of fprintd, can you clarify why you think that's the case?
As far as I understand things, it is common that an application asking
for a password turns off local echo in the terminal by means of a
control character. On a slow system, even witout fprintd, when you start
typing the sudo password too quickly after issueing the sudo command,
you see the first chars of the password.
I THINK that in this case, fprintd might turn on local echo again or
reset the terminal while sudo is waiting for its password.
Trying to understand which upstream I should chase for this and you understand
sudo's behavior better than me.
I think that it would be a good idea to take the issue to the upstream
sudo mailing list. Upstream is reading the list and they frequently come
up with valueable advice about things.
Greetings
Marc
